SiriusXM Beach Boys Weekend LIVE as it Happens...Post Here

[SloopJohnnyB]

Not LIVE but part of the SiriusXM playlist:

Long Promised Road
Friends
Almost Summer (Mike Love and Celebration...I still think this song should have been released on a Beach Boys LP)
Break Away
Palisades Park...Wow...didn't expect to hear this one!

A deep playlist? I say yes. Still waiting for 'Funky Pretty'!  

Yeah, I wish they would play some of these songs on the current tour.

I swear that I heard Jeffrey Foskett's version of 'I Live for the Sun' which is really good by the way. Maybe it was The Stingrays.

Nice hearing 'Beach Baby' by The First Class.

SiriusXM is doing a nice job.

[Mikie]

On the way home from work tonight I heard Long Promised Road, Graduation Day (studio), California Saga, That's How God Made The Radio, Keep An Eye On Summer, Surfin' Safari, Cottonfields, and Wouldn't It Be Nice. Mike discussed the lyrics to Wouldn't It Be Nice before the song was played. I expect the "interview" segments will be like this - song discussion intros by members of the band. The programming of this is very well done. No commercials of course!  

[Melt Away]

If you rewind the time on the Sirius/Xm online interface right now it will go back 4 hours and you can listen!

I like the mix.     Some fairly deep catalogue for any widely distributed BB show.

Wish I had a way to "record" this.

Does Sirius require a credit card number for the free signup? Or can you sign up without one?

Nope, all you need is your email address: http://www.siriusxm.com/freetrial They'll give you a password and it's yours free for a week.

I'm really impressed with the songs they've been playing! Wish I had Sirius for a normal radio...I plan on being outside all weekend and don't trust my laptop by the pool.

Signed up for the free trial - pretty disappointed. It's ridiculous that this is I'm 60s on 6 and that they dont have their own channel. The garbage that they're playing in between the BBs is for the most part, just that, garbage. If they want to play beach boys RELATED material, that would be cool. Like tue honeys (which I just heard). But that's not generally what I've been hearing. Eg I like CCR but NOT on a supposedly beach boys endless summer weekend!!! It's very annoying. I also want to hear more rarities and other such things. That what they did a couple years ago with McCartney when he was promoting the fireman (and of course he had his own channel unlike the beach boys).

Now they're playing wipeout (the original). I can dig that. But little freakin red riding hood - which I've heard twice now??! WTF?!?! When they play s--t like that it makes me want to put a double barrelled shotgun in my mouth and pull the trigger. (I'm very passionate about the proper treatment of the beach boys:))

[TimmyC]

Not to mention that they should be playing tracks from the new album plus rarities!!! This is a real misse opportunity. Although its better than nothing, I realize.

[Emdeeh]

OK, I've got the free trial. What channel is the Beach Boys concert running on? 60s at 6 is playing Frankie Valli right now and the earlier press release said the concert should be running right now.

Edit: It just came on on 60s at 6, appropriately enough, 6 minutes into the hour.

[ontor pertawst]

Thanks for mentioning it, tuned in just in time for "Artist Confidential" -- pretty relaxed interview going now, tune in folks!

BW: "The only thing that's changed is we move half as quick."

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Brian sounds absolutely amazing on TWGMTR, rivals the recording!

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Oh my god brian went for the high note on GV...
Sounded amazing!

[Emdeeh]

IIRC, the next time for the concert is 10 p.m. ET tonight.

That was a great interview at the beginning, btw.

Just as an FYI, when they replayed the show at 6am (ET) this morning (5/26), they only included the concert portion. No interview. So, some re-airings *might* do the same. They simply listed it as Beach Boys in Concert.

Thus, there's just been the two complete airings w/ interview so far...for those keeping score (i.e. listed as Artist Confidential).

I'd be fine with that. The concert is wht I want to hear. Are there more re-airings ? And did anybody get around to record it?

[ontor pertawst]

Well, it made me buy orchestra tix for the Irvine show when I already was going to the Bowl -- so... mission accomplished, SiriusXM appearance!

I recorded it. If there's enough demand, and if someone doesn't beat me to the punch, I could upload it. Though, in good faith, I suppose I should at least wait until it's done airing this weekend on Sirius...lol. Is that acceptable practice around here?

My recording came from Dish Network. One of the slight advantages there is that Dish broadcasts it at a slightly higher bitrate than the internet feed (192 kbps vs. 128 kbps). I've recorded from both and personally prefer the Dish feed.

Let me know, folks, if there's any interest for an upload (or if someone else plans to do it)?

Well, I'd be happy to listen. And I think it's fair to wait until Sirius won't play it anymore.

Geez, tough crowd. I don't have an issue with it - they play great songs, many not played on your local oldies station. Heard "He's A Doll" and "Surfin' Down The Swanne River" by the Honeys and "Summer Means Fun" by Bruce & Terry, "Hey Little Cobra" and a coupla Jan & Dean songs. Not bad! This morning Brian gave a little intro before one of the Beach Boys songs and he sounded like his old '74 voice! Anybody else notice that? Beach Boys deep tracks are very cool! But you know, the hard cores here have heard 'em all anyway so don't be too rough on Channel 6!

Me too. I have been listening to the XM broadcast all morning and have been loving it!

[Dave Modny]

Personally, I think the BB's playlist over the last few days has been quite good. Here's a nifty tool that shows every BB's track that was played on Sirius, on every channel, in descending order. Channel 6 is obviously the biggie this weekend.

Many deep cuts.

That would be just GREAT!!! Thanks a bunch!!!

There must be some rationale for the playlist, since it is 60's music format.  It might be to hear the Beach Boys "in context" of music that was highly played and recognized in that era, even if they are the stars. These were the songs that the Beach Boys were competing agains for chart position.  It sounds kind of cool, as it was an old hand-me-down AM transistor radio that brought the music to this kid in 1965!  It sounds like vintage AM hit parade radio.  Now, that was really FREE!

This is Sirius Free trial!  

Still sounds like the price is right!

i used to use a program called polderbits to convert tapes to mp3 or wav files. if i remember correctly it would also record streaming feeds. it comes with a 7 day free trial. so maybe one could download the program from the net and record the concert. i can't remember if it had a limit of file sizes so one may have to save part of the show and start another recording. it has been 3 years since i used it, lost it and my computer it was on in the fire. but it was a great program.

"Just once in my life" playing now, what a great song!
